Much Loved masterfully unveils the melancholy and solitude of sex workers Noha (Loubna Abidar), Randa (Asmaa Lazrak), Soukaina (Halima Karaouane), and Hlima (Sara Elmhamdi Elalaoui). Offering pleasure and fantasy to rich Saudis, Emiratis, and European tourists, these women are loved by no one — but together they form a makeshift family, sharing their everyday woes and joys and protecting one another. They support their families, who are ashamed of them; they bribe the nightclub bouncers, the bar owners, and the police; and they are at the centre of the nightlife's underground economy, dangerously close to the heart of its violence.
